(prefftce.

The present volume contains a number of letters

and inscriptions of the period of the First Dynasty

which have become available for publication since the

appearance of the first volume of this work.- They

include seven letters addressed by Hammurabi to

Sin-idinnam ; five letters addressed by Samsu-iluna,

the son of Hammurabi, to various officials : and an

interesting series of thirteen letters written by Abesu'

to the Judges and other high officials of Sippar and

Kar-Samas. These last despatches furnish many

interesting facts with regard to the internal admini-

stration of Babylonia during the period of the First

Dynasty, and they serve to supplement the information

. obtained from a study of Hammurabi's letters.

The volume also includes the two votive inscriptions

of Hammurabi preserved in the Louvre ; duplicates of

X PREFACE.

the Babylonian and Sumerian building-inscriptions of

Samsu - iluna ; a new edition of the text of the

" Chronicle of Kings of the First Dynasty " ; and

plan of an Old- Babylonian building has been included

in the volume ; it was drawn up in the period of the

First Dynasty.

The third volume of the work, containing the trans-

literations and translations of the texts, is published

simultaneously with the present volume.

Cappeller (Garl) — A Sanskrit-English Dictio-nary. Based upon the St. Petersburg Lexicons. Royal8vo. Cloth, pp. VIII, 672 [Published £ i. \s\. Reducedto lOJ. 6d.

"Linguistic and other students should hail with satisfaction the pu-blication of a cheap and handy Sanskrit-English Dictionary, such as isnow to be found in the new English edition of Prof. Cappeller's San-skrit-German 'Wbrterbuch,' recently' published by Messrs. Luzac. Thebook is well adapted to the use of beginners, as it specially deals withthe text usually read in commencing Sanskrit ; but it will be of use alsoto philological students — or such as have mastered the Nagari character-^— as it includes most Vedic words, a great desideratum in many earlierdictionaries, especially such as were founded on native sources. The basisof the present work is, on the contrary, the great lexicon of Boethlingkand Roth with the addition of compound forms likely to be of serviceto beginners." — Athcnceum. ' ,. •

"The English edition of Prof. Cappeller's Sanskrit Dictionary is some

thing more than a mere translation of the German edition. It includesthe vocabulary of several additional texts; many compounds have been

inserted which are not given in the Petersburg lexicons; and some im-

provements have been made in the arrangement. The errors enumerated

by the reviewer of the Academy have for the most part been corrected,

though a few still remain The. book is certainly the cheapest, and,

for a beginner, in some respects the best, of existing Sanskrit-English

dictionaries." — Academy. ., ,"Professor Cappeller furnishes the Student of Sanskrit, if not with a

complete Lexicon, — for that he tells us, was not his object, — stillwith .a handy and yet very full vocabulary of all the words occurring in

the texts :which . are generally studied in that language. His plan is to

avoid all unnecessary complications, to give each word in such a manner

Luzac & Go's Publications.

as to show its formation, if it is not itself a stem. It is not merely an

English version of the author's Sanskrit-German Dictionary, nor merely

an enlarged edition of the same; it is a new work, with a distinct planand object of its own. We can recommend it to the Sanskrit student asa sufficient dictionary for all practical purposes, which will enable him

to dispense with larger and more costly and complicated Lexicons till

he has acquired a considerable proficiency in this difficult and scientific

language." — Asiatic Quarterly Review.

"There are, it is to be feared, but few books published in this countryfrom which English readers can obtain information as to the doings ofthe Dutch in their Eastern colonies. — For this reason we are glad thatCapt. Cool's account of the Lombock expedition has been translated." —

Athenaum.

"The book contains an interesting account of the Balinese and Sassakcustoms, and throws some light on the introduction of the Mahomedanand Hindu religions into Lombock . . . The translation by Miss E. J. Tayloris satisfactory, and some of the illustrations are excellent."— The Times.

"Lombock forms a small link in the long chain of volcanic lands . .

.

To folklorists and students of primitive religions it has always presentedmany attractive features . . . They will be much interested in the localtraditions recorded in the volume before us. Miss Taylor's version deservesa word of recognition, and the general equipment of the book is credi-table to the Amsterdam press. There is a good index." — Academy.


"The author not only describes the military operations, but gives a fullhistory of Lombock and its people. Much curious information as to a landvery much out of the way and little known to English readers is given.In addition the account of the actual warfare is full of incident. Thebook is freely illustrated." — Yorkshire Daily Post.

"This is a work which will no doubt attract considerable attention,both in the West and throughout the East. Miss Taylor has acquittedherself as a translator with rare ability and taste, and the comprehensiveand excellent way in which the work is illustrated adds an additionalcharm to what is at once the most entertaining and most attractive chapterof Netherlands Indian history." — European Mail.

"Besides containing a great deal of information concerning this hitherto

very slightly known island and its inhabitants. Captain Cool's volume isprofusely and excellently illustrated . . . Miss Taylor's translation of it isfluent and thoroughly readable." — Glasgow Herald.
